Scorpions rolled into Gdańsk, Poland on June 4, 2009 and turned the brand-new PGE Arena into one giant backyard party. TVP brought eight cameras and a killer FM feed, so every riff and smile looks fantastic on your screen. Klaus Meine chatted in Polish, Rudolf Schenker grinned ear-to-ear, and 38,000 fans sang every chorus like it was the first time. Cool night, awesome crowd, tremendous vibes.
The setlist was 90 minutes of pure gold. “The Zoo” prowled, “Coast to Coast” surfed on twin guitars, and “Send Me An Angel” lit the sky with phone lights. Instant jammin’ energy. They closed with “Still Loving You” and “Wind of Change,” two slow-burners that felt like hugs from old friends.
This TV rip drops you front-row in Gdańsk, no ticket required. One click and you’re in the middle of a cool Polish summer night, singing along with 38,000 new buddies. Turn it up, hit play, and let the good times roll.
Scorpions are a German rock band formed in Hanover in 1965 by guitarist Rudolf Schenker. Since the band's inception, its musical style has ranged from hard rock, heavy metal to soft rock. The lineup from 1978 to 1992 was the most successful incarnation of the group, and included Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (rhythm guitar), Matthias Jabs (lead guitar), Francis Buchholz (bass), and Herman Rarebell (drums). The band's only continuous member has been Schenker, although Meine has appeared on all of Scorpions' studio albums, while Jabs has been a consistent member since 1978, and bassist Paweł Mąciwoda and drummer Mikkey Dee have been in the band since 2003 and 2016 respectively.
During the mid-1970s, with guitarist Uli Jon Roth (who replaced Schenker's younger brother Michael) part of the lineup, the music of the Scorpions was defined as hard rock. After Roth's departure in 1978, Schenker and Meine took control of the group, giving them almost all the power to compose music and write lyrics. Matthias Jabs joined in 1978, and with the melodic rock he played and the influence of producer Dieter Dierks in the band, the Scorpions changed their sound to melodic heavy metal mixed with lyrical power rock ballads, which is evident in the album Lovedrive (1979), which began the evolution of the band's sound, with recording a developed later in several of their albums. Michael Schenker also played on the Lovedrive album. Over the next decade, the band achieved influence, approval from music critics, and significant commercial success with the albums Animal Magnetism (1980), Blackout (1982), Love at First Sting (1984), the live recording World Wide Live (1985), Savage Amusement (1988), their best-selling compilation Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads (1989), and Crazy World (1990), all awarded at least one platinum award in the United States. The band has released thirteen consecutive studio albums that were in the top 10 in Germany, one of which reached No. 1, as well as three consecutive albums that were in the top 10 in the Billboard 200 in the United States. Their latest studio album, Rock Believer, was released in February 2022.
Scorpions are estimated to have sold over 100 million records around the world, making them one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands.
